Visiting US while staying in Canada on Visitor Visa

[Jith87]

Hello All,

Please guide, my mother in law came to Canada on April 15th on Visitor Visa, We are planning to go USA by road. I wanted to know if she can come with us , she is having Valid USA B1/B2 visa and can re enter Canada by road. Will there be any problem at the border for re entering as she is on Canada Visitor Visa.

She can re-enter. Whether she is allowed to re-enter is at the discretion of CBSA. She will not know until she returns.

No one on the forum can guarantee re-entry. Does she have a good chance - yes, because she has a valid TRV.

As mentioned no one can guarantee the reentry. However, this is very common and many people do such trips.

Why would you cancel the trip ? They’ve only been in Canada since mid April. People come & return all the time.
You are WAY overthinking this

Also agree that you shouldn’t cancel your trip if they have only visiting for a few months and received a 6 month stay when entered in April. if they had been visiting Canada for a long period of time then there may be more concerns about whether they would have issues upon reentry with CBSA. Some attempt to extend a stay in Canada by going to the US and reentering. If there are concerns that parents are trying to live in Canada and have been visiting for a long period of time that tends to be when issues with reentry occur.

I'm planning on doing the same thing next months when my parents come to visit. They hold both Canadian and US visitor visas, they've visited both countries before. We want to walk the rainbow bridge, see the falls from the US side, and head back.

Let me know how it goes.
